There are several different subjects I want to write about, but this is an emergency. We have multiple celebrities wearing (or adjacent to) Pittsburgh gear. First, actors J.K. Simmons and Bill Fagerbakke threw out the first pitch at Wednesday's Pirates game. You know J.K. Simmons from his roles in the Spider-Man movies, the Farmer's Insurance commercials, and for his Oscar-winning performance in Whiplash. Such a disturbing yet thought-provoking film. Meanwhile, Bill Fagerbakke's name may not be familiar but his voice is. Yes, you may recognize him from being Dauber on Coach, but he's also the voice of Patrick Star on SpongeBob SquarePants.
Across the ocean a few weeks ago, leaders of Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA visited Pope Leo XIV in Rome and presented him with a Terrible Towel. The "American Pope" recognized the item and smiled. Although it doesn't appear that Pope Leo waved the Terrible Towel, he at least held it, so that counts as a celebrity in Pittsburgh gear in my book.
